An air conditioner (A) as a refrigeration apparatus includes: a refrigerant circuit () including an evaporator (), a first compressor (), a vapor cooler (), a second compressor (), and a condenser () that are connected in this order; a heat release circuit () that allows a heat medium to circulate between the condenser () and a first heat exchanger () that releases heat to the atmosphere; and a heat absorption circuit () that allows a heat medium to circulate between the evaporator () and a second heat exchanger (). The vapor cooler () is a heat exchanger that exchanges heat between a refrigerant vapor compressed by the first compressor () and the heat medium flowing in the heat release circuit () or the heat medium flowing in the heat absorption circuit ().
